WTF is this nosie

I cant pin this down, I just changed my plugs,coils,wires and car runs great except I have this new noise. I checked my plugs with my tq wrench and I am spot on so WTF. It almost sounds like a vacume hose leak but I cant find one. The sound only comes from the driver side
CAR 04 GT 6speed 75,000mi

There is a breather line right in front of the oil filter on the bottom side of the UIM....you might have knocked that off as well...

Broken motor mount(s)? When you put new coilz they bring your power back to normal and the broken mount get worse. I snapped the drivers side when I took her out for a spin and opened it up. It made a similar sound.

If a plug doesn`t seal properly...you will get a pst pst pst noise from the compression leak

Make sure the sealing washers are all on correctly and the correct plugs are in the right holes. The plugs are different lengths and the leading ones bottom out in the Trailing plug holes before they seal properly

You have to stick your hand under the rear corner of the UIM by the filter to see if it`s OK. Depending on your year..there may not be one there..that is the upgraded UIM from the 06`s and on I think..or there was a TSB for a new manifold and it may have been replaced on an earlier model though

Yea that's probably it cause the pass mount is the one that goes out 1st?

How much Torque did you put on the plugs? They need around 10 lbs, just a bit past finger tight but not too much. Did you put anything on the plug threads? Anti seize or a drop of fresh oil?
